The newspaper kept its @pratttribune.com domain but switched from addresses that describe job functions — such as sports@pratttribune.com — to addresses that match employee names — such as ndepew@pratttribune.com.

The changeover is part of a company-wide effort by GateHouse Media to standardize e-mail at its publications under the umbrella of technology giant Google, which offers a suite of online applications in addition to its near universal internet search engine.
